So just my luck, found the perfect spec 2024 Z06, priced right, been on the market a while so was gonna make an offer....close by at 250 miles away. Call and they sold it this past weekend after it had sat on the lot for almost 3 mos...lol go figure.

I'm looking for Silver paint 2LZ coupe, red and black interior, red brakes, matte titanium wheels, no added aero if anyone sees one.

I figure 2024 gives a year for first year bugs to be worked out and no silver offered in 2025 so....

The 911..formidal track car..fast..handles...but that's where it ends for me...never cared for the styling..it's more than long in the tooth..even though iconic....not a fan of the exhaust note..and modified exhaust sound horrendous....interior is small...not cramped or tight...just small...and it just seems chincy to me...and dated as well...very pricey new...but retain their value better than most...I don't road race or track....so it doesn't check any of the boxes for me...but a truly iconic car..for somebody else

Listen up, if you open the hood of your car, and you can easily see the fluid level in your reservoir because it's dark instead of clear, without having to use a flashlight to hilite the fluid level, you're no longer my friend.

Which reminds me...

Yesterday the light for low washer fluid came on. That's a bit odd since the washers have never been used. Or the wipers.

Then again, I've had to add some to my '10 tractor, and may have used the washer function on it once.

I saw that yesterday and didn't realize 2026 order banks were so close to opening up (3-4 weeks I think). Now my broker buddy who's looking for the Z06 told me I should consider that and watch it come down the assembly line, museum delivery, etc since I'm only an hour from where they're made.

They offered me a very high spec 2025 yesterday for a crazy price but it's that light blue color which I don't like and had a $9K ceramic brake option that I didn't want. I'm gonna see what kinda price I'm looking at for a 2026 with the discounts he gives me and compare that to one of these 1,000 miles used ones. If it's close the 2026 makes sense.
